A man who was part of a syndicate that stole identities before laundering millions of dollars through jewellers and a coffee shop has been sentenced to six years in jail.
Karthik Pappu, who pleaded guilty to one charge of money laundering, was identified by police investigating a cold calling scheme in which victims provided offenders with access to their computers before being tricked out of money, a Brisbane court was told on Wednesday.
The now 36-year-old admitted being part of the group that transferred money into accounts they opened using the details of 190 identity theft victims.
Chief judge Brian Devereaux said Pappu could be linked to the laundering of $562,490, but it was impossible to determine how much he made.
Pappu was “not at the helm” of the operation, but in the middle, active in most stages, Devereaux added.
He answered to syndicate members overseas, but also directed others in Australia and once sent a summary of the day’s transactions to another person.
